Re: no drain or valves

IMO depnds on whether installed per mfg specs, above or in ground and is there a local code regarding the install. Pool drainage can be accomplished by several ways. Is the pool filled by garden hose or a permanent line? My biggest concern is how the electrical circuit is protected?

Re: no drain or valves

Yes, you have to be able to drain the pool some way.

Is that flexible piping or is that PVC heated and bent like that?

This is what I found in the Florida Building Code, Residential.

R4101.6.2 Required equipment. (underlining is mine)
- Every swimming pool shall be equipped complete with approved mechanical equipment consisting of filter, pump, piping valves and component parts.
- - Exception: Pools with a supply of fresh water equivalent to the volume of the pool in the specified turnover time will be allowed.

Then, in the ANSI/NSPI 5, American Standard for Residential Inground Swimming Pools, it says:
- Article IX
- - Circulation Systems Components and Equipment
- - - 9.3 Piping and Fittings: blah, blah, blah
- - - - 9.3.2 Equipment shall be designed and fabricated to drain the pool water from the equipment, together with exposed face piping, by removal of drain plugs and manipulating valves, or by other methods. Refer to manufacturer's instructions for specific information on draining the system.
